His love for Hiba never faded away even after her demise. Hiba, being from a different religion, her family didn't approve of her marriage to Ekansh. They eloped and got married against the will of Hiba's family when they were twenty-six. They built a company together and became successful. Ekansh loved his wife and son dearly until... they were murdered. He lost his beloved Hiba and his six-month-old son to murder in the name of honor killing. The day he lost his Hiba he lost himself. He has become numb to the world and avoided people. Focusing on work and drinking. He became an alcoholic. At night, he will look at the last family photo he took with Hiba and his son as tears spill down his eyes. Seeing Ekansh's condition, his parents felt helpless seeing his son in distress. So, they forced him to marry Mayuri Thakur. An orphan girl his uncle was raising. Mayuri is a timid girl who lost her parents and was raised by Ekansh's uncle. She is quiet and soft-spoken. A nurse. Ekansh was pressured into marrying Mayuri against his will. Mayuri has always loved Ekansh from a distance. A one-sided love, even if she knew Ekansh would never love her back, she married Ekansh in the hope one day he would love her. Will Ekansh ever move on from his loss and accept Mayuri as his wife? Or did Mayuri make a grave mistake by marrying a self-destructive Ekansh?... ──── ✮ ──── 𝐀 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐥. This work contains triggering content intended for mature audience.
